James Henry will start for Reading reserves against Plymouth Argyle reserves

James Henry will start for Reading reserves today after overcoming a hamstring strain that ruled him out of the trip to Watford on Saturday.

The winger from Woodley will also be joined by other first-team squad players Alex Pearce, Jem Karacan and Hal Robson-Kanu for the XI that take on Plymouth Argyle reserves at Madejski Stadium (2pm kick-off).

On-loan striker Gunnar Thorvaldsson will also start, but his chances of earning a permanent switch from Esbjerg to Reading look to be over after playing in just five games since joining in January.
